Cormier6083 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I don't care for it. I searched for a person and I got way off results. Hopefully it gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted July 28, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted July 28, 2008 Nothing appears in the search results in Safari on certain searches. But I do like it. I'd use it if it were faster and worked properly. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lare2 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 I don't care for it. I searched for a person and I got way off results. Hopefully it gets better. Personally I'll give it some time since this is pretty new stuff. I still remember when Google was at that stage and Altavista was king of the hill. I had a similar impression of Google on its beginning days. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted July 28, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 28, 2008 Wow I like it. I love how the way they present the results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastage Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Pointless , they should have joined Microsoft, google is dominating not with their qualities but with their power now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cormier6083 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Pointless , they should have joined Microsoft, google is dominating not with their qualities but with their power now. And the fact that it's pretty much standard wherever you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borbus Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I think it's a bit broken at the moment... Search for "neowin": http://www.cuil.com/search?q=neowin What's with the pictures? Three completely unrelated pictures that do not appear on the web pages they link to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 They need a one column search result page. I hate both the two column and three column views... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Majesticmerc MVC Posted July 28, 2008 MVC Share Posted July 28, 2008 Tried a comparison search for "HTML Doctypes" on both search engines. Google's Top 5: - HTML Validation: Choosing a DOCTYPE (htmlhelp.com) - HTML DOCTYPE TAG (W3Schools.com) - Recommended list of DTDs (W3.org) - Choosing a DOCTYPE (Elizabethcastro.com - HTML5 DOCTYPE (ejohn.org) Cuil's Top 5: - "Transitional Doctypes are Stupid" - A page from a web page design quiz - Why the style tag should exist in a page with the STRICT doctype - List of Doctypes (maxdesign.com.au) - Some tech support about some woman with a problem rendering web pages The fact that not a single W3 webpage appears in the search results demonstrates to me that the search algorithm needs a hell of a lot of work! In fact, if I were looking for a list of HTML doctypes, The top result from Google would suffice, but the only even remotely relevant link in cuil's results is the fourth one. Very disappointing.

Digitalx Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 seems ok but no need to try fix something that isn't broken, google ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Dragon Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I like Google's minimalistic design, this seems a bit cluttered. The result were actually pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrKuro Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i like the frontpage, but hate the cluttered results page .. plus the results arent as relevent or specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourjays Veteran Posted July 28, 2008 Veteran Share Posted July 28, 2008 Don't like the result presentation, as others have said. Front page nice though. I also found it's results to be pretty poor. Typed in the titles of several sites and none of them were even present in the results! Google always gets them as the first result. Even the ones that have existed no more than a week or two, amazingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3rEsa Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 IMO anything is better than the AdSense-powered Google crap, providing paid search results and such crap... Cuil, however, should provide an option to display more than 10 results per page, I would happily use it then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lare2 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Share Posted July 28, 2008 :shifty: I Found Neobond's dirty secret with it Click If You Dare Only Just searched for Neobon and right there in the page :rofl: PS Should I Put a NSFW tag on the link ......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolCatBad Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Crap search engine, but so are most of them, including Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis.A Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I actually like the results page.The interface is clean and organized. I can see me using it more and more. Opposite to google, Cuil actually takes the pain away from searching, it's a little more FUN i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiagosilva29 Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I like Google's minimalistic design, this seems a bit cluttered. It reminds me a bit of the recent iSomethings... Google actually retrieves stuff on hummus, while Cuil doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 i like the frontpage, but hate the cluttered results page .. plus the results arent as relevent or specific. that's exactly what i was going to post :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piepke Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Still needs a lot of twekaing but I can see something useful in this approach... I'll keep it in my favorites for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
